A Phenomenal experience! On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the quality of training and knowledge provided at the course of instruction a 9.5!
Over all, Id say the training I received today was head and shoulders above other courses I have taken. For me, the key point was: Pavel and his instructors care about their students!

This is kettlebells from the ground up. Safety, mobility, stability and strength. The fundamentals that build a foundation for all your kettlebell training needs for you.
Unmatched Pavel, my Team Leader and assistant (Kenneth Jay and Dustin) and being able to hear all the other groups is priceless. A lifetime of information in one day!
This is my first stop on a road to the RKC. I figured I would start with the best. It exceeded my expectations.

The HKC was absolutely the best, most comprehensive, and challenging one day course I have ever taken. This is the course to take to learn proper kettlebell techniques and instruction. Pavel and his instructors are the real deal.
I was quite impressed with the knowledge, experience, and ability to convey concepts to be easily understood. Exhibited by all of the instructors: their understanding of movement patterns and biomechanics is outstanding.
The scope and depth of the HKC training was amazing, particularly for a one day course. I am certified in and have taken numerous fitness courses, and none compares with the breadth of bio mechanic knowledge or hand on trainings.

It was a great experience. Excellent instructions from all of the instructors. Every one was very supportive even when you had difficulty with certain concepts or movements
I felt that Pavel and all of the other instructors were excellent. I am a physical therapist and felt that I knew quite a bit about the body and exercise but the level of expertise that they displayed was incredible.
For a single day exercise training course I cant imagine being any more thorough or expecting more out of the attendees. Most certs that I know of dont require anywhere near the demonstration of proficiency and professionalism that the HKC does.

NAME: Diana Behrend, Respiratory Therapist, Slinger, WI
ATHLETIC/TRAINING BACKGROUND: Lost over 100lbs working with kettlebells via a RKC trainer which enabled me to then participate and complete triathons, duathlons and other runs and rides.
Truly life-altering and I proved to myself that I have it in me to better my own self and also others in the future!
The quality and knowledge is nothing less than spectacular awesome to be a part of it.
This has been unbelievable. To even think that you guys go this all out for a sport just proves what I already know those who do kettlebells will only do them properly and with great respect and passion for their use. Once I picked up a kettlebell 2 years ago, I knew I would never put it down. Now to have what I learned fixed a little and to be able to pass onto others will be awesome.
